Systems and methods are disclosed for a brokerage operations support system to facilitate international shipping of goods into a country. The system receives information pertaining to a shipment and rates the shipment for a specific country by applying rules defined for the country's customs regulations. Status information of the shipment is received by the system, including whether the shipment has cleared the importing country's customs process. If the shipment has not cleared, the handling systems ensure the shipment is withheld from delivery until clearance is obtained. A flexible system architecture comprising a server and both attended and unattended workstations for a core system that can be modified to allow rating and processing of shipments occur in various modes to accommodate the procedures for each importing country.

A system and method for gathering and distributing data. The system is for extracting information from the world wide web and classifying the information in accordance with certain profiles. The information may include business intelligence, which may be categorized according to its relevance to predefined industry profiles or company profiles. The information may be further categorized according to its relevance to particular countries. If the information relates to a new company, the system builds a new company profile based upon the information. Users may create a user profile containing their information preferences, such as industry groups or particular countries or companies, and the system provides reports or alerts to the users referencing extracted information that is filtered by the user profile.

Methods and structure for storing log messages in a tokenized, international format and for presenting (viewing, printing, etc) the tokenized log message in a locally preferred native language. Log messages from a computing system or application are stored in an international tokenized format which remains constant regardless of the particular nation in which the system or application is operated. The tokenized format includes a message ID field which identifies a unique message and includes parameters values which are to replace variable portions, if any, of the identified message. A plurality of localized message catalog files are available to retrieve a localized native language string which corresponds to each tokenized message. The message ID field serves as an index to the localized catalog files. A viewer program then retrieves a localized text string message from a selected message catalog file replacing any variable portions identified therein with parameter values supplied in the tokenized message. The formatted, localized native language message is then presented (e.g., displayed, printed, etc.) to the requesting user in their preferred local native language. The present invention thereby enables users having a first preferred language to review or otherwise process logged messages generated by a system or application operable in an environment having a second preferred language. The present invention also simplifies parsing problems relating to automated analysis and post-processing of logged messages. The tokenized international format of the present invention remains constant regardless of the preferred local language of the system or application which generated the message.

The invention interacts with a subject to query, challenge and identify multiple aspects and multidimensional influences that provide access to, allow modulation of, and entrainment of, state-specific global bio-regulatory self-organizing controllers and evocable triggers. Modulation of state-specific regulatory triggers may evoke optimized newly emergent self-organizing principles within the subject and ultimately support up-regulation of “states of presence” that include newly emergent controllers of additional optimal regulation of bio-chemical expressions. The “state” measures of a person may include the status of a combination of any number of identified biological qualities. The invention includes systems and methods that support access to a subject's state controller functions, for various aliments, to empower shifting ones' biology from a symptomatic to an asymptomatic state and to optimal adaptive learning and readiness. The system of the invention investigates and accesses the capacities that control such state shifts so that they can be broadly challenged, expanded, and entrained for optimized global regulatory function in reversing a myriad of pathological symptoms, learning limitation, and adaptive dysregulations.

Methods and devices for calculating an estimate of a wind vector. A maneuver of a platform may be identified as a steady-straight motion maneuver, a partial turn maneuver, or a full turn maneuver. A preliminary estimate of a wind vector corresponding to a wind condition prevailing near the platform may be calculated by applying a maneuver-specific calculating method. A gain associated with the preliminary estimate of the wind vector may be calculated by applying a state-specific calculation method. A filtered estimate of the wind vector may be updated based, at least in part, on the preliminary estimate of the wind vector and the gain associated with the to preliminary estimate of the wind vector.

Overlaying images in automated insurance policy form generation includes electronically converting a first form in a first format to a second format to and in response to receiving a Web page request, electronically communicating the second form to be displayed within the Web browser instead of electronically communicating the first form in the first format to be displayed within the Web browser. In the case where the first format is Adobe® portable document format (PDF) and the second format is Joint Picture Expert Group (JPEG) format, this enables the user of the browser to overlay images on the forms within the Web page interface of the browser, while it appears to the user they are overlaying images on the original PDF versions of the forms. The final integrated PDF form is then generated from the data indicating the location of the overlay image on the underlying JPEG form. This process may also apply to insurance policy forms wherein the overlay image is a state specific stamp to be placed on the underlying form.
